Why Your Deck Stain is Peeling, How To Maintain The Finish, and Extend The Life Of Your Deck!

Our Ottawa climate is tough on decks, leading to common problems like peeling and fading. On this episode, Ryan sits down with Markian Pergat, owner of Sand and Stain - an Ottawa-based deck and fence refinishing company. They discuss why deck failure often comes down to improper prep work or product choice, providing key insights for any home improvement project. They also discuss the different options for deck coatings, from opaque film-forming stains to oil-based penetrating stains, and even deckover! Markian explains how yearly maintenance saves money in the long haul and keeps your deck looking fresh every year, instead of doing a full re-finish every few years. Learn how to diagnose issues and prevent future deck repair needs, ensuring your deck stands strong against the elements.
